Re: Where did all the magic smoke go?
The largest amount of magic smoke we released this year was when a PWM cable came loose from a spike and the negative contacted the positive lead, creating a short through the robot controller and a lot of smoke. Magically, everything but the charred PWM wire was still OK.
